He’d read up on fyrhunds as much as he could in the Monster Hunter’s Guild journals (after making his own recent entry on lials for future hunters) and then posted a note to the Guild message board to let people know where he was going.
Heading to Angel’s End to find a fyrhund. Be back in a few days. Wish me luck. -Tal
He had his axe and the steel spear he’d used to slay the lial, plenty of water and food, a couple of dead arctic rabbits stuffed in his Bag, and his rope and bandages. And of course, Boreal flew overhead, keeping a weather eye out for any suspicious movement across the blasted surface far below her. Tal’s feet moved lightly over the hardened lava rock covering the isle he’d chosen, but the prints he was following had sunk into the thin crust and left a trail even an unpracticed eye could follow.
He whistled and gestured Boreal to come a little lower as clouds over the ocean in the distance grew both darker and nearer, and Tal looked around at the forbidding island and chewed his lip fiercely in thought. He was weighing the chance that he’d find his prey before the bad weather moved in, or if it was time to find shelter, first.
